AGENDA The scoping seminar of the Wild nuts and berries iNet put forward priorities themes to focus INCREDIBLE actions. One of the topics highlighted was the “Long-term resource availability in a context of climate change”. Wild nuts and berries are facing several challenges that threaten the evenness of their provision. Namely climate change and different exotic pests and diseases are of paramount relevance for the successful management of these products. The workshop aimed to provide helpful insights for both public and private stakeholders about the current situation, the effect of climate change, the damages caused by biotic agents and how to combat them. The Workshop brought together researchers, forest managers, Government representatives, private forest owners, representatives of the sector and entrepreneurs that participated actively in the debates and round tables. Addressed to: Public and private stakeholders from value chains of wild nuts and berries.

Different topics were pointed out, namely processing quality, traceability, labels to minimize the black market. Among them, it arose one issue that needed urgent attention: pest and diseases are causing severe losses of chestnuts and pine nuts, jeopardizing the continuous supply of these products. According to the Scoping Seminar conclusions, the knowledge gaps that need to be fulfilled were: Chestnut: Biology and effective integrated pest management practices for the chestnut gall wasp, Dryocosmus kuriphilus. Pine nuts: Biology and effective integrated pest management for the Western conifer seed bug, Leptoglossus occidentalis, and other cone pests (Dioryctria sp., Pissodes validirostris). Ongoing climate changes and scenarios for forest ecosystems and production. Thus, the second round interregional workshop aimed at share the available knowledge and recent results on these topics. To comply with this objective different experts were invited to present their experiences and research lines. 3. ATTENDEES The Workshop was attended by 43 participants (12F:31M gender balance): 36 Spanish, 5 Turkish, 1 Portuguese and 1 French. The attendance varied depending on the session. There were 17 speakers from Spain, France, Turkey and Portugal. The first day was focused on pine nuts, with 6 speakers from Spain (5) and Turkey (1) and 35 attendees. The second day the presentations were centred on the chestnut sector, with 8 speakers from Spain (5), Turkey (1), France (1) and Portugal (1) and 24 attendees. The field trip was joined by 14 attendees. In the case of pine nut sector, the participants in the workshop covered all the different actors from the pine nut value chain: forest administration, private owners of stone pine forests, pine nuts processors and researchers. As expected, the attendance was mainly regional, which is reasonably due to the importance of the sector in the region of Castilla y León. However, researchers and stakeholders from whole Spain and one even from Turkey presented their results on the topic. In contrast, the chestnut sector was not so widely represented. Beside the speakers, the attendees were researchers from the university and representatives from the forest administration. The lower participation of the chestnut sector may be due to: (i) the fact that the chestnut sector organises regularly their own meetings, the sector being highly consolidated; (ii) Dryocosmus sinensis is not considered as fatal as Leptoglossus occidentalis has proved to be for the pine nut sector; (iii) chestnut production is an secondary source of incomes, not the basic livelihood for chestnut growers. P a g e | 4 4. WORKSHOP The workshop included three types of activities: (i) oral presentations, (ii) group work and discussion and (iii) field trips. During the first and second days, oral presentations and group work and discussions were held. The third day was devoted to the field trip visiting Aliste, a

Yet, as within other theory-heavy areas of Roman archaeology (Pitts 2007), plant remains have been poorly integrated into key synthetic works. Analysis has instead focussed on artefactual and zooarchaeological remains (Smith 2001; Morris 2010), with plant remains only briefly alluded to, or discussed largely within specialist archaeobotanical literature (Robinson 2002; Vandorpe and Jacomet 2011). Whilst there is growing evidence for the use of plants in non-funerary classical Roman religion, as well as structured-deposition in shafts and pits, the absence of systematic methodologies and contextual analysis limits the study of ritual plant use in the Roman world.

  • Pinus Pinea Pinus Pinea
    Pinus pinea Pinus pinea Pinus pinea in Europe: distribution, habitat, usage and threats R. Abad Viñas, G. Caudullo, S. Oliveira, D. de Rigo The stone pine (Pinus pinea L.) is a medium-sized tree with an umbrella-shaped, large and flat crown, scattered around the Mediterranean basin, mainly in coastal areas, and particularly abundant in south Western Europe. It occupies a broad range of climate and soil conditions, although it shows a low genetic variation. It thrives in dry weather, strong direct sunlight and high temperatures, tolerating light-shaded conditions at the early stages of its growth. It prefers acidic, siliceous soils but also tolerates calcareous ones. The most important economic products obtained from these pines are the edible seeds (pine nuts), although they are also used for consolidation of sand dunes in coastal areas, for timber, hunting and grazing activities. This pine species is rarely attacked by pests and diseases, despite some fungi diseases that can cause damages to seedlings and young plantations. In the Mediterranean basin, forest fires constitute the major threat to the stone pine, even though its thick bark and high crown make it less sensitive to fire than other pine species. The stone pine (Pinus pinea L.) is a medium sized evergreen coniferous tree, which grows up to 25-30 m with trunks exceeding Frequency 2 m in diameter. The crown is globose and shrubby in youth, < 25% 25% - 50% umbrella-shaped in mid-age and flat and broad in maturity. The 50% - 75% trunk is often short and with numerous upward angled branches > 75% Chorology with foliage near to the ends.

  • Mediterranean Stone Pine for Agroforestry Pine As a Nut Crop and to Analyse Its Potential and Current Challenges
    OPTIONS OPTIONS méditerranéennes méditerranéennes Mediterranean Stone Pine SERIES A: Mediterranean Seminars CIHEAM 2013 – Number 105 for Agroforestry Mediterranean Stone Pine Edited by: S. Mutke, M. Piqué, R. Calama for Agroforestry Edited by: S. Mutke, M. Piqué, R. Calama The pine nut, the edible kernel of the Mediterranean stone pine, Pinus pinea, is one of the world’s most expensive nuts. Although well known and planted since antiquity, pine nuts are still collected mainly from natural forests in the Mediterranean countries, and only recently has the crop taken the first steps to domestication as an attractive alternative on rainfed farmland in Mediterranean climate areas, with plantations yielding more pine nuts than the natural forests and contributing to rural development and employment of local communities. The species performs well on poor soils and needs little husbandry, it is affected by few pests or diseases and withstands adverse climatic conditions such as drought and extreme or late frosts. It is light-demanding and hence has potential as a crop in agro forestry systems in Mediterranean climate zones around the world. This publication contains 14 of the contributions presented at the AGROPINE 2011 Meeting, held from 17 to 19 November 2011 in Valladolid (Spain). The Meeting aimed at bringing together the main research groups and potential users in order to gather the current knowledge on Mediterranean stone OPTIONS OPTIONS méditerranéennes Mediterranean Stone Pine for Agroforestry pine as a nut crop and to analyse its potential and current challenges.

Awan 1 and Davide Pettenella 2,* 1 Department of Forest Science, University of Helsinki, Finland; [email protected], [email protected] 2 Department Land, Environment, Agriculture and Forestry – University of Padova, Italy; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +39-049-827-2741 Abstract: Pine nuts are non-wood forest products (NWFP) with constantly growing market notwithstanding a series of phytosanitary issues and related trade problems. The aim of paper is to review the literature on the relationship between phytosanitary problems and trade development. Production and trade of pine nuts in Mediterranean Europe have been negatively affected by the spreading of Sphaeropsis sapinea (a fungus) associated to an adventive insect Leptoglossus occidentalis (fungal vector), with impacts on forest management activities, production and profitability and thus in value chain organization. Reduced availability of domestic production in markets with growing demand has stimulated the import of pine nuts. China has become a leading exporter of pine nuts, but its export is affected by a symptom associated to the nuts of some pine species: the ‘pine nut syndrome’ (PNS). Most of the studies embraced during the review are associated to PNS occurrence associated to the nuts of Pinus armandii. In the literature review we highlight the need for a comprehensive and interdisciplinary approach to the analysis of the pine nuts value chain organization, where research on food properties and clinical toxicology be connected to breeding and forest management, forest pathology and entomology and trade development studies.
